Chapter 177 Wushengmen

The last ray of light of the sun is about to disappear in the West. When Wang Jian, the general of the Qin Dynasty who had been trapped in Longcheng for many days, was brought to Chu Jiangmian, he still didn't know what would happen.

Although he was a defeated general, Wang Jian’s mentality during this period was not as bad as he thought. Victory and defeat were common in military affairs. As a famous general of Qin, it is not shameful to fail once, but if he is depressed and never has the chance to take revenge again, that is a general’s shame.

I guess he had received special orders, and the people of Zhao did not make any trouble for him. It was said that it was imprisonment, but in fact, except for the lack of freedom, other food and other treatments were pretty good. Even according to his request, the guards brought him military books. Wang Jian had enough food and drinks, and used this rare free time to learn some military books and battle strategies, and temporarily forgot the pain of missing his homeland.

What he didn't expect was that not long after, the people of Zhao did not know what they wanted to guard him and his son Nie Yunfeng in the same yard. Soon, with the arrival of Qin envoy Feng Quji, they finally knew a lot of what happened after the defeat.

The attitude of the King of Qin was actually as expected. For the King of Qin, who had the ambition to swallow the world, the lives and their loyalty of the Qin soldiers have always been something he valued very much. If he just spent some money and exchanged for the return of these tens of thousands of soldiers in the future, if he was King of Qin Nie Feng, he would also know what choice he should make.

As an envoy, Feng Quji was also locked up by the people of Zhao, which surprised Wang Jian and Nie Yunfeng. However, after hearing the whole story, the two people who had already deeply understood Chu Jiangmian's powerful skills had to smile bitterly. It seems that this young King Zhao not only has powerful means to treat the enemy country, but also has no mercy on the enemy inside! He was able to take this opportunity to eliminate the internal troubles of the royal family without any loss of his reputation at all... Such a person is definitely not just described by deep scheming!

It was from that time that Wang Jian, Nie Yunfeng and Feng Quji, these three important figures with different identities from Qin, were kept in the same courtyard until today, when Prince Nie Yunfeng was released.

Although they were a little uneasy when they were unable to leave with the Qin prince, Wang Jian and Feng Quji were still a little excited. After all, this means that Qin and Zhao were already negotiating to resolve the funeral left over from the war. Although the people of Zhao did not disclose more details, they all believed that since the ransom had been paid, they would not have to wait too long and all the soldiers of Qin could go back.

In fact, just half an hour ago, when Wang Jian left with the Qianji Pavilion spy who was specifically responsible for guarding him, Feng Quji, who continued to stay, said to him in a joking tone.

"Is that King Zhao so unfair that he let Young Master Yunfeng go away in the morning and now he wants to let General Wang leave?"

Although this was just a joke of making fun of suffering, Wang Jian, who smiled faintly and turned away, probably thought so. At least he felt that there would be no other unexpected things to be seen by Chu Jiangmian at this time. However, Wang Jian never expected that he would not be able to laugh soon. Moreover, what he was about to witness with his own eyes would make him burn all over and his heart was broken!

The sun sets, and smoke rises everywhere. As you see in your eyes, twilight gradually falls. If you stand on the big bell tower not far from the Wusheng Gate in Xicheng, you will see the breath of fireworks in the world within a radius of dozens of miles.

This building can almost be called the tallest building inside and outside Longcheng, and has no exact name. All the people of Longcheng call it the Big Bell Tower. The big bell tower is made of wooden structure, with more than ten floors above and below. At the highest point at the top, there is a wide platform with a watchtower built there, and a huge bronze bell hung on it. If the war is urgent, you can discover the enemy situation in the distance in advance here and alert the whole city. However, in the past few years, the bronze bell has not been ringed for a long time.

It was a bit strange that most of the ministers of the royal court led by the Prime Minister Fei Yi of Zhao gathered here today. Their eyes followed the figure standing at the highest point and occasionally turned to the Martial Saint Gate, as if they were waiting for something.

Chu Jiangmian did not wear any kingly clothes, but was still dressed in white. All his subjects knew that their king's filial piety period was not over. The injuries he suffered had not healed yet, and the mottled and tangled bandages made people look very worried.

But he couldn't rest with peace of mind. Because the more complex and intense situation in the whole world might have officially begun after this twilight came!

"General Wang, are you here? Very good, please come here, maybe you can see this position more clearly."

Wang Jian raised his head, full of doubts. He didn't understand why Chu Jiangmian saw him in such a place, and he didn't understand why the ministers and generals of Qin looked at him with such strange eyes.

"The Kingdom of Zhao is busy and it's so late. I still have to see me, the defeated general. I wonder what's wrong?"

Wang Jian walked forward a few steps and was secretly surprised. With the light before Bo Mu, he saw clearly the injuries that Chu Jiangmian had on his body. Although he didn't know how it was caused, he began to feel uneasy. Then, he heard the young man who was looking down at him and smiled faintly.

"General Wang, I don't have much to be busy with. At this time, everyone should have been preparing for dinner at home. There is no need to work hard to climb to such a high place... But some people are uneasy and insist on causing trouble! I and these ministers and I are always a little worried if we don't come to take a look at each other in person!"

Wang Jian looked around in shock, then straightened his body, looked at Chu Jiangmian's somewhat blurred face, and said in a humble and arrogant manner.

"As a military general, I have always been dull and do not understand what the words King Zhao said meant. Please make it clear!"

"Oh, what I mean is very simple! Everyone is going to have dinner, but some uninvited guests are coming to make trouble... If it is General Wang, you encounter such a thing, then what will happen?"

Looking at Chu Jiangmian's calm and gentle clouds, Wang Jian's uneasiness became heavier and heavier. He has been thinking about what the young man in front of him over and over again these days. The more he thinks, the more he feels the terrible person. His smile now looks, maybe others don't think anything unusual. But in Wang Jian's eyes, it looks very similar to his cruelty on the battlefield.

"King Zhao, I am just a prisoner of Zhao now. It's meaningless to ask me about these things. If you have any questions, please tell me it directly!"

"Look at the sentient beings under your feet, smoke is everywhere, and the world is peaceful. Every household is preparing delicious food, no matter the high or low, the whole family is happy... I believe that General Wang Jian doesn't want any bloody killing to suddenly break such peace when he sees the scene before him, right?"

Wang Jian silently withdrew his gaze. He seemed to have understood something. Although others could not see the abnormal expression on his face in the twilight, his heart began to pound violently, and his palms were also tightly clasped together. Sure enough, what Chu Jiangmian said later confirmed his conjecture.

"You Qin people are very untrustworthy! You sent the most powerful guy, named Wei Wuzi, to assassinate. I endured it too! But I kindly let go of Gongzi Yunfeng so that they could go back to work. But I didn't expect that someone was so brave that he wanted to kill someone to retaliate and disrupt Longcheng... Haha! General Wang, why not guess who is so brave in the Qin delegation?"

Wang Jian felt his head buzzing loudly. Do you still need to guess? Among the second group members of the delegation, except for his nephew Wang Xin, no one else would have such courage! His hands and feet were cold, and he immediately became excited.

"King Zhao! Please let them go! Wang Xin is just a brave man. Please don't start killing him because of his impulse...!"

Wang Jian was called a famous general of Qin, and his vision was so vicious! Since Chu Jiangmian had already said so clearly, it was enough to show that all the actions of the Qin people in the territory of Zhao were under his control. At this moment, although the inside and outside of the city gate was quiet, at the twilight, there was clearly boundless murderous aura hidden in it! If as the other party said, the Qin people wanted to take any sudden action, with the young man he knew, those warriors were really thrown into the trap and died without life!

"General Wang, although God has the virtue of life, he cannot save the people who seek death. Unfortunately, it is a bit too late for you to plead with mercy now... Look, they are here!"

Chu Jiangmian casually pointed at the distance, crossing hundreds of feet away from the Martial Saint Sect, wherever he could see his eyes, dense figures were swarming through the dusk and began to grab the city gate.

"How are you going to do them?!"

Wang Jian's eyes were bloodshot and his grief and anger were mixed. He wanted to shout loudly and ask the Qin warriors who came to raid in the dusk to evacuate and escape quickly. However, at such a long distance, he knew that it was just a futile. Even if he shouted through his throat, no one would hear it.

"General Wang, just look good! From now on, as long as the enemy troops who invade Zhao for no reason will end like this."
